Located among rolling hills, Pinjang Village is situated in the south-western hill regions of Manipur under the Khoupum Sub division in Noney District. About 600 people (around 75 families), primarily from the Rongmei Naga tribe, inhabit the place. Almost all the residents are subsistence farmers cultivating paddy, bananas and chillies. The average family size is around 4-5 members. The average annual income of a family is approximately Rs.50,000 - 60,000 which makes most families belong to the BPL (Below Poverty Line) category. The beautiful Leimatak River that courses through the village is a major water source for the entire population. Pinjang Village has a history of violence. It is located at the heart of a conflict-affected area and many people from in and around the village have been killed in the Kuki-Naga violence of the 1990s.
